When Heidi Hasty first arrived at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, Hasty wasn’t looking for a lifelong passion. She was looking for stability. She had recently become a single mother with two young daughters and knew she needed a career that could support her family. Hasty didn’t have an education beyond high school, but she did have something else: memories of her grandfather, a retired industrial maintenance technician who picked her up from the bus stop and taught her small shop skills.
